Added Note: "The Great Hunger" tapestry is an embroidered work of some 77 panels conveying insights and experiences of the Quakers (Society of Friends) during three and a half centuries. The tapestry was begun in 1981. Over 4,000 Quakers in ten countries have worked on it and it has been displayed in Ireland, Britain and the United States, per 1998 #2 issue of "Irish Roots" magazine published in Cork. As mentioned previously, that particular issue of the magazine has panel E8 on its cover.
